Overnight Open Thread (26 May 2017)

You'd think this would be a ginormous story but sadly it isn't. Explosive revelation of Obama Administration illegal surveillance of Americans. Given the tsunami of leaks not just related to Trump but also other areas, it wouldn't surprise me that information illegally obtained on political opponents has been used for quite some time and would partially explain some behavior of certain judges and politicians that have left their supporters scratching their heads. We have a huge problem with the quality of employees at these agencies and their oversight. Folks need to be held accountable for these leaks.

Evergreen State practices explicit and institutional racial segregation once a year. Typically nonwhite students and faculty leave campus (to show how valuable they are) and the whites stay on campus (to be indoctrinated in "anti-racism workshops and seminars"), but this year it was reversed, and Weinstein told the director of a campus multicultural office that he was staying put.

I wonder how much the director of a campus multicultural office makes.

2620 21 times a month? Got that covered. Easily. Every since little Publius was about 13 or whenever it was when he learned a neat new trick.

Venezuela continues to spiral downward into an ever deepening maelstrom. People are starving, the regime is no longer unified, and people are resorting to flinging feces... and being forced to eat the same.

You see, this is not a problem for leftist scum, they demand and expect it. It's how they know there was Russians! But, cannot get the evidence they know is there because the spying and leaking on Americans is technically illegal... and they aren't in charge. It is why they know there was Russians!

Why you should ejaculate at least 21 times this month. Finally a counter to the "I've got a headache" excuse. Just say do it for my prostate. Of course, if your significant other read the article, she could just say, go solo.

Woah.........I'm going to sit death watch on Mr. k. 21 times a month? x 12 months year x 18 yrs. Yikes, his prostrate must be.........wait a minute, there is suppose to be no math on this blog.

My opinion is that this is beyond Trump. They are now in the position of putting the country at risk. It would not surprise me that one or more of these leaks will be more than ill advised and result in a serious event. It has to end.

My sil is a graduate of Evergreen State...I believe she got to make up her major and then get a degree in it. I'm not kidding.

Try Universal Combat (http://3000ad.com/games/universal-combat/) or even All Aspect Warfare (http://3000ad.com/games/all-aspect-warfare/). (I Beta-tested the latter.) I've logged many hours on these two.

I guess DSmart is considered an indie developer, but he's been doing it for a while now. (He's pretty infamous on the intertubes, for that matter.) Both are available on Steam.

He's also doing Line Of Defense (http://lodgame.com/), but I'm not into MMOs.

There was a study on this. Let me try to be as clinical as possible, and anyone who is put off by this kind of thing, just stop reading.

The study was done in Germany. Or was it France? Anyway, they got a bunch of confirmed "squirters" and had 'em do it repeatedly in the lab, hooked up to all sorts of equipment, and the fluid was analyzed.

It was urine. But not normal urine. Womyn have Skene's glands, which are sometimes called the female prostate. And they make a small amount of stuff which is just about exactly the same as male prostate fluid. There are two of them, and they have output ducts right at the end of the urethra.

The fluid has a high concentration of the Skene gland output as well as urine.

It's related to the (in)famous "G-spot". As near as they can figure, this is an area of heightened sensitivity in the urethral sponge tissue. Not all women have it.

But for those who do, when this thing goes off, there is a involuntary reaction that relaxes the urinary sphincter, letting a small amount of urine out, and then contracts, spurting that little bit out.

Simultaneously, the Skene's glands dump.

And that's what it is, apparently. Although there is still disagreement.

But go all Uzi all over a set?

I am looking forward to when get get enough $ together after a few more gigs to get that Midas board Gary is looking at.
We'll be able to record straight from the board and maybe combine it with standing mics.
Combine it with some video and who knows. Maybe come up with something for the pet thread.

I was just Googling, trying to get the magic combination of terms to get what I was looking for, but couldn't find. But this is what I think I remember:

Unfortunately, not all women have the complete package of tissue. The "G-spot" and related tissues just don't develop fully in all women. I remember they cautioned in one of these studies that their sample size wasn't large enough to predict anything about the general population, but only about 60%+ had it.

All you can say is some women have it, and some don't. In those women who have the full "option package" one might say, there appears to be three independent orgasmic pathways to the brain. The clitoris is the main one, and all women have this. But the "g-spot" is another one, and there was a third area that for the life of me, I can't remember.

Anway, if a woman doesn't have the full option package, she won't be able to do this trick under discussion.

We men only have one such orgasmic pathway, right from the glans. But that's all we need. Ours is very high bandwidth.

hello friends....I am just now waking up....which is never a good thing.

Posted by: Tickled Pink at May 26, 2017 10:55 PM (smD62)

Yeah Pink, I've noticed you're often waking up at 11, what's that all about?

So I met this guy on Craigslist bc I wanted to buy something from him. We exchanged a lot of emails and then texts and then phone calls trying to arrange a time that would work for both of us to meet up. This guy was very funny and engaging, but when I heard his voice for the first time, he sounded very rough, bordering on a little crazy. I ignored my reaction to his bad voice and went ahead with the meet up. I got there and his house was kinda dumpy and messy, a lot of junk in the front yard, a little scary maybe. So the thing I was buying was in his garage which was a freaking mess, but, hey, it's a garage. So his ad offered two things for the price of one, and I only really wanted the first thing. He had the first thing for me but couldn't find the second. He told me a couple of funny stories but he used a lot of profanity which bothered me a little. Not bc I don't swear, but only bc I don't when I'm meeting someone for the first time and really only do in a setting or with people that I'm very comfortable with (like here) who wouldnt be offended by curse words.

So, none of that really was a big deal. This was the big deal that made me upset: His garage had porn prominently displayed in it in photograph form. The guy knew I was coming over and let me see that. He could have gotten the stuff ready for me so he wouldn't have to take me to his garage and see that. So, instead of just ignoring it or addressing the problem in some way, I decided to make an issue and be a jerk about him not being able to find the second thing. The second thing that I didn't want at all.

So, I don't think of myself as a judgmental person and I'm not uptight or a prude. So why'd I take out my issue with his porn out on him and pretend it was bc he didn't have the other thing that I didn't want? I mean, I hang out here with a bunch of proud fappers and none of the conversation really offends me at all when it's dirty. And I like all you guys!

I shouldn't have been an ass about the second thing that I had no interest in. I know that was wrong. I just did it without thinking. So, did I over react or react unreasonably? Am I a snob or judgmental?

I know you're a liar cuz Thor woulda educated me on this decades ago were it true!

This guy was very funny and engaging, but when I heard his voice for the first time, he sounded very rough, bordering on a little crazy. I ignored my reaction to his bad voice and went ahead with the meet up. I got there and his house was kinda dumpy and messy, a lot of junk in the front yard, a little scary maybe. So the thing I was buying was in his garage which was a freaking mess, but, hey, it's a garage. So his ad offered two things for the price of one, and I only really wanted the first thing. He had the first thing for me but couldn't find the second. He told me a couple of funny stories but he used a lot of profanity which bothered me a little. Not bc I don't swear, but only bc I don't when I'm meeting someone for the first time and really only do in a setting or with people that I'm very comfortable with (like here) who wouldnt be offended by curse words.

So, none of that really was a big deal. This was the big deal that made me upset: His garage had porn prominently displayed in it in photograph form. The guy knew I was coming over and let me see that. He could have gotten the stuff ready for me so he wouldn't have to take me to his garage and see that. So, instead of just ignoring it or addressing the problem in some way, I decided to make an issue and be a jerk about him not being able to find the second thing. The second thing that I didn't want at all.

So, I don't think of myself as a judgmental person and I'm not uptight or a prude. So why'd I take out my issue with his porn out on him and pretend it was bc he didn't have the other thing that I didn't want? I mean, I hang out here with a bunch of proud fappers and none of the conversation really offends me at all when it's dirty. And I like all you guys!

I shouldn't have been an ass about the second thing that I had no interest in. I know that was wrong. I just did it without thinking. So, did I over react or react unreasonably? Am I a snob or judgmental?

445 My raising is such that I would never, never cuss in front of lady I'd just met, nor talk dirty, and certainly not display any, uh, material like that.

I couldn't make myself do it, even if I was being paid. I will get risque, just as a joke, in front of women I know well, but only in a crowd. I'll never do it alone with a woman (unless she's a special friend type who has made it clear that well, you know).

But, other than that, alone, in person with a woman, I'm not gonna cuss, and not gonna talk dirty.

Meeting someone off of Craigslist at their house without another preferably male figure? Not wise at all. Secondly I think it's a sign of the times that people cuss in public to strangers without a second thought, I've got a horrible awful mouth but when just meeting someone I keep a clean vocab.

As far as the porn? His house his rules. I think you created this image in your head from email correspondence and then reality slowly started to chip away at your image until it was shattered.

Be safer next time.

"She wears it better, of course, but I'd have hated it on Michele and I hate it on Melania too!"

Disagree. It did not overwhelm her as it would have most women. She wore it rather than it wearing her. The detail and workmanship is such that I can see it in a museum. Oh to be tall and thin with magnificent posture.

I've often been accused of being hyperrational, but I've learned: when I have a bad feeling about something/ someone, go with it.

So, I don't think of myself as a judgmental person

And that was your second. Not being judgmental = being a dope. Adults render judgment all the time. "Not being judgmental" is leftist shit. This is good, that's bad, that's in between. Judgmental? You betcha.

456
So, did I over react or react unreasonably? Am I a snob or judgmental?--

I don't meet people I don't know. Period. If for some reason I must, it would be in a public place.

You didn't not over-react IMHO.

This guy (pardon the expression) triggered something in you. An instinct. When that happens you need to listen. You being rude could have been your subconscious giving you a way to get out of there without coming to harm.

Porn displayed in the open is not OK. And even if people say it IS OK, we all have a right to be offended by anything at any time.

BTW... I read a book a while back from a security expert, and the gist of it was (as succinctly said by Deplorable Jay Guevara ) go with your instinct.

He gave numerous examples of people who listened to their feelings and stayed out of trouble. And then those who did not, but used their instincts to stay alive.

Also from the book: restraining orders do not work. They just p*ss people off even more. They're one of those things that people say are a good idea, but oftentimes cause a person to snap and become violent. Kind of counter intuitive, but ignoring certain types is actually the best strategy.

So, he had a get together at a friend's, and he sent me some photos...it was a lovely setup, some twinkling lights and one of those outdoor bed thingies. He specifically pointed it out and said he enjoyed spending time there, I told him it seemed very romantic, and it did, so I said it.

Well, he immediately got sad, and started to clam up. I told him to talk to me, to open up to me, which he didn't. He said he didn't want to because he respects me (which makes no sense). He said he didn't want me to be an emotional sponge for him, and that usually when he spills his guts to people, it annoys them, and he didn't want to annoy me too.

I don't know how legit his reasoning is.

First of all, how old is he? Because if he really meant this about not being an emotional drag on people, he'd have hidden his sadness instead of parading it then drawing back (which is designed to suck you into the drama). Guys don't typically wear their feelings on their sleeve.

The New Apartheid student mobs want a No Whites-Day. When their pro-Bernie professor disagreed, they turned on him because he's white.

Then there's the Burrito Girls, run out of business for being the wrong race.

And the super-creepy Princeton bean-counters in Admissions, judging students on pure racial stereotypes, saying essentially about Asians that "they all look alike to me".

And when the students graduate with a degree in Useless Rage and are living in their cars, the professors who taught them this racist garbage will be on vacation in Tuscany spending their student loan money.

*snickers inwardly at anyone asking him for relationship advice*

OK, here are a few things I have learned in wooing the fair ladies over the past *cough* few years:

1) Be honest. I know everyone says this but most people ignore the advice. If something pisses you off, say so. I know the pull to want to hide what you feel because you like the person and you do not want to upset them or break the magic or whatever. Honesty does pay in the long run. It is easier to reverse course early on than it is six months in.

2) Try not to put your baggage in the lap of a new person. This one is nearly impossible as we all are a sum of our experiences and how we dealt with them. However, it is best not to put expectations and feelings you had towards someone else on the new person. They are not the same person- do not expect them to always act the same way.

3) "The perfect is the enemy of the good." This is horseshit. Don't settle. You'll know when you have found what you are looking for.

As far as it working out, you only need to have one good day. When that happens- don't let em get away.

As far as dealing: Dudes express completely differently than ladies do, I have found. Getting drunk and going fishing while drinking and not talking about it is probably not what you have in mind.

I was doing some transcription today. One of my specialities is legal transcription.

Anyway, one letter I typed today was from an attorney to his client, "Re: Divorce." The attorney was trying to convince his male client that there was no point in fighting with the other party's attorney, as they were going through a *divorce*, not a reconciliation or a post-nuptial agreement, and even said at one point, words to the effect of "I know you tried everything to save this marriage and that you are emotionally devastated, but facts are facts."

The attorney was talking about the male client's soon-to-be ex-husband.

so you got in touch with a guy on craigs list who sells skulls. you went to his lair, then to the back room of his lair to get the skull and the one other thing. you ever consider how this skull monger gets his skulls?

Is the buzz around Wonder Woman really good? Because if not, if it's just didactic SJW crap, who cares if a bunch of feminists cordon themselves off to watch it? They could make it a double feature with the Vagina Monologues or Miss Sloane or New Ghostbusters, and more power to 'em, I say.

You live in Texas, right?

I had a friend that used to sell animal skeletons. He would prep them by taking the dead carcass and putting it in a pot (okay, nothing as big as steer!), then covering with a damp rag. Flies would lay eggs, and the maggots would clean the skeleton clean.
And put this somewhere away from the house, because it will stink for a while. But, this works great.

Posted by: Tickled Pink at May 26, 2017 11:45

Just a WAG, but from what you've written maybe he was sad because you found it romantic and weren't there w/ him?

But as others have said, if he let you know he was sad and then refused to talk about it WTF? I understand a long distance relationship is difficult, but proceed w/ caution.

From India of course. International treaty. All skeletons come from India. Y'know, I think they have a skeleton farm over there......

774
I had a friend that used to sell animal skeletons. He would prep them by taking the dead carcass and putting it in a pot (okay, nothing as big as steer!), then covering with a damp rag. Flies would lay eggs, and the maggots would clean the skeleton clean.
And put this somewhere away from the house, because it will stink for a while. But, this works great.

Looks like the AoSHQ's very own JohnE. has a rival for the crown of Twitter Rage Master.

This Jan. JohnE. asked a perfectly 'innocent' question: "The top 3 best selling vehicles in America are pick-ups. Question to reporters: do you personally know someone that owns one?"

Rage, rage against questioning of the media did follow.

Yesterday, Stephen Miller of HeatStreet ( @redsteeze ) sent a new one over the Left's heads in reply to a report that a NY theatre plans to hold a 'women's only' screening of the new feature film 'Wonder Woman'.

@redsteeze May 25
Anyway, Chris Pine's new Super hero movie opens next week so we have that to look forward to.

Chris Pine is the co-star in the anticipated comic book social justice warrior paean.

Miller later sent pic of tix for the showing for the 'women's only' showing, rage ensued, and so did hilarity.

The things I can get interested in, and will take up space in my little brain. I used to remember about everything I learnt, but now, it seems I forget shit, so I'll probably forget this.

Skene's glands. Not the gland itself, but the man, Skene. Who the hell was he? Alexander Skene, imminent gynecologist. Born in Scotland, moved to America. Wrote textbooks, and there's even a statue of him at the medical school he taught at. Brooklyn. His hey day was the late 1800s.

Anyway, he didn't discover them, that was by some French surgeon a while before, but Skene was the one who literally wrote the book on them, and their care and feeding. There are pathologies of them, including blockage and infection, and cysts that can develop.

820
Yeah maybe. I wish I could have been there with him too. But, I shouldn't have to say it.

If that's truly how he felt...and like you said, it's total
speculation, but if it was...then all he would have had to say was, "I
wish you were here with me."

Not that hard. Pretty simple.

Did anyone read the comments at that Newsweek article? I love it when atheists and other assholes tell me what a Christian should believe and do.

Apparently, Jesus said that if you kept Him in your heart, you were good to go. He never told 12 guys, or 72 for that matter, to spread the Gospel. He never told 'em to have communion, or spread the joy, or, well, just about anything.

1) I agree with and encourage what Tammy said she would do if you go alone to something like that again.2) I'm a retired Peace Officer. A long time ago I learned that if something does not feel right, there is something very not right happening. Do NOT proceed unless you are ready for combat, and since the transaction was not a matter of life, death, or duty; just get the hell out ASAP.3) Could you be impugning the character of this person you never met before? Maybe. But that is a lot better than getting hurt or worse. He'll get over it. Or not. Who cares? The key point is to stay safe.

These are strange times, when most things cannot be trusted. Act accordingly.

And, beside that, I hate that logic. One guy once told me you had to go through 10 terrible dates before you had a good one. And there's the whole "If you want to find a handsome prince, you have to kiss a lot of frogs." idea.

My three closest friends from college- the first guys they ever dated were all their The One. And, they are all happily married to them. So, why should I have to follow this protocol of getting dinged and bruised in order to condition me for the real time?

Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at May

well, that is distressing, however, they do pluck the feathers after dispatching the ostrich, which is not so hard as you may think because sneaking up on a bird with its head stuck in a hole is surprisingly easy.

So, he had a get together at a friend's, and he sent me some photos...it was a lovely setup, some twinkling lights and one of those outdoor bed thingies. He specifically pointed it out and said he enjoyed spending time there, I told him it seemed very romantic, and it did, so I said it.

Well, he immediately got sad, and started to clam up. I told him to talk to me, to open up to me, which he didn't. He said he didn't want to because he respects me (which makes no sense). He said he didn't want me to be an emotional sponge for him, and that usually when he spills his guts to people, it annoys them, and he didn't want to annoy me too.

Do you get upset at Thanksgiving? Or when you order chicken at a restaurant? The ostrich was raised on a farm as livestock, slaughtered gutted and had its meat sold for food. Do you have anything made of leather? Cows. And quite frankly cows seem like much less of an asshole species on the whole than ostriches do.

Looking to make you feel a little better about that ostrich feather bag I did a quick search. Thinking perhaps something along the lines of farms where the birds were plucked, and left to mosey around, until the feathers regrew . Or better yet, there was a natural molting process. Yep, nope.

Some people just hit the lotto in life early it seems. Money, good looks, romance. Great for them, but I wish they realized how annoying they seem sometimes.--A rambling story, since I'm not feeling well.

Had a friend who hit the life jackpot early.

Husband worked in the family business, she had a full-time job she loved, no kids, they had the life. They both have some health issues (hers are more serious) however, they lived the Kcup/boiled eggs from the store/pinball machines in the basement lifestyle. Vacations 3x a year, one of them usually to a foreign country. Had no idea how good she has it.

It was good for 25 years or so. Then he decided to quit the family job, found new job, got canned, found a different job and makes no money. She will NOT change her lifestyle, and now, by her choice, would work 24 hours a day if they allowed it. Her and her husband still both do the vacations and have full times jobs with all the benefits, so in that respect, they have it better than I do.

She since her husband changed jobs, she is falling apart emotionally. I've ended the relationship because she became incredibly hypercritical, hyper perfectionistic and very materialistic that it just wasn't working for me.

So... things can always change. And usually do.

WTF is a "back channel" communications set-up for a private citizen - which I assume Kushner still was at the time in question? There is no "front channel" with a foreign ambassador, for a private citizen. And there's nothing very interesting, and absolutely nothing illegal or suspicious, in any of it.

JFK had "back channel" contact with the Russkis during the Cuban Missile Crisis via emissaries meeting at the Yenching Palace, a Chinese restaurant formerly at Connecticut and Woodley (?) in DC. And he was prez. And it was a "crisis".

shibumi, my youngest sister and her husband have kind of something similar.

They have a tiny, but beautiful, Crafsman house in a really nice area of Long Beach. They both have really good jobs and could take tons of time off (my sister takes hers because she's a schoolteacher so she gets all summer off, my bro-in-law also has tons of time but literally has to be *ordered* by his boss to use it).

To look at them, they have a great life. Their big splurge is cars; they get new or almost-new nice models every year or so.

But the downside, that only I and others in my family know, because we're her family? My sister can't conceive. She and her husband have tried everything and she just can't do it. My mom (who is also her mom) is sick about it; I tell everyone anything could still happen, because she's 45 and it's no big deal anymore for women above that age to have kids these days. In the meantime, one of they deal with it is to enjoy saving, and having fun with, the money they're saving by *not* having any kids. When they *do* vacation together, they get to go to some nice spots.

I fear that most of the ostriches are killed for their skins and feathers, though, which doesn't seem right.

After living good lives on lovely farms, an undiagnosed disease, nay, undiagnosed condition is taking them peacefully in their sleep. This has resulted in a glut of ostrich feathers on the international market, allowing sales of feathers from those who passed mercifully and making the killing of ostrichs for feathers unnecessary. Yeah, forgot that part.Have a good night everyone.

The place we got in from back in college was up in the mountains. I can't remember if it was in Pickens or north Greenville county. But there was a little country store. They had a special gas pump. Real high priced, real "high test" stuff. Like several dollars a gallon. But the price wasn't on it.

The routine was you pulled up to the "special pump", and told the clerk you wanted some of the real high test. They had to know you. Well, you had to references.

You would leave the keys in your trunk. If everything went well, and they didn't get spooked, you would pay quite a few bucks per gallon. The number of gallons was the number of quarts you wanted.

The gas would get pumped, and you would find your mason jars in the trunk.

In my online career, which goes back to CompuServe in the early 90s, I've managed to piss some people of seriously. Politics, of course. Never had anyone actually do that, but it's happened to some people I knew online. Serious harassment.

Animals as food doesn't bother me, (not much anyway, and I sure as hell couldn't kill anything) as long as they're treated humanely while they're being raised, are killed quickly and are definitely dead before they're processed.

First was when some jackass backed into her car while we were in a Chinese/Vietnamese bbq joint..... she shot out the front door and into the parking lot and screamed at the offender in at least three languages, all the while blazing like a comet with that fury that only an Asian lady whose beemer has been scratched can muster.

Dad used to buy Georgia Moon, which is corn liquor that he claimed was guaranteed to be aged no more than one month in a paraffin lined barrel, and is sold in a 750ml mason-type jar. He would decant it into old blue mason jars from the fruit room and pass it around that way.

There is a guy I know locally who has been working on setting up a distillery to make both apple brandy and using cheap grapes from the local vineyards to make brandy. The licensing is not so hard, but the capital costs and time are the main barriers.

I'm not supposed to drink alcohol with this med, but fuck it, I'll crack one real quick with you.

I was treated to some moonshine when at an event in St. Louis. Came from Ohio, of all places, I believe. It was very smooth, very potent, and tasty, being flavored with apple and peach. And it was in Mason jars.

1208I expect by the time they get around to making boots and handbags from the hide, the bird has ceased to care about the missing feathers. Just a hunch.

You two have been sneaking around for a long time. D'you ever wonder what it might be like to not have to anymore?I was reminded of this song, which I sang to my husband on our honeymoon. I'm sure you can relate, Uncle.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Ms6sM9noY

This story is worth front-page posting. A liberal university in Washington state has a tradition where minority people stay away from the campus for one day a year to show how important the minorities are; but this year someone decided to reverse it. Instead of minorities staying away, it should be whites. And instead of it being voluntary, it's an order.

A white professor who is politically quite liberal noticed that this is a rather illiberal policy and informed the planners that he would not comply. My favorite quote from his email: "On a college campus, one's right to speak -- or to be -- must never be based on skin color." Hear, hear.

Cue the outrage: students basically rioted. Then the police told the professor to stay away for his safety, and protesters were STOPPING CARS AND SEARCHING THEM to make sure they didn't contain the professor they wanted.

The first thing the University President did: assure the protesters that they would not suffer any negative consequences for their actions. And I'm not exaggerating for comedy here, his quoted words begin with: "First and foremost, I want to state that there will be, as far as I know, no charges filed against any students involved in actions that occurred this morning..."
